       KUWAIT CITY, May 11: A significant exodus from the scrutiny of educational credentials is underway, with approximately 40,000 employees across all sectors of the Ministry failing to furnish their educational qualifications. This development, shrouded in uncertainty and suspicion regarding the underlying motives, has been disclosed by reliable sources within the Ministry of Education, reports Al-Seyassah daily . The failure to comply stems from a directive issued by the Civil Service Commission last February, mandating the submission of comprehensive educational records for all Ministry employees who acquired qualifications beyond high school from January 1, 2000, onwards, irrespective of nationality.

       Speculation among employees suggests a surge in resignations prompted by apprehensions surrounding the scrutiny of certificates and potential repercussions for those found to have misrepresented their qualifications. However, authorities emphasize that the Ministry, in collaboration with the Civil Service Commission, is poised to take necessary action against non-compliant individuals. In response to the non-submission of qualifications, the Ministry of Education has initiated a thorough examination process. Each employee’s academic credentials are being meticulously reviewed, and those who have yet to provide their qualifications are being contacted through respective sectors and departments. Individuals are being afforded the opportunity to explain their failure to comply, despite extensions and ample opportunities to submit their data via the Ministry’s website.

       Without exception, all employees holding qualifications beyond high school since January 2000, including bachelor’s, graduate diplomas, master’s, and doctorates, have been urged to furnish their certificates. This comprehensive review, mandated by the Civil Service Commission, encompasses all categories of higher education credentials. Furthermore, the Ministry, in conjunction with the Civil Service Commission, is actively engaged in scrutinizing certificates suspected of being falsified. This concerted effort forms part of broader governmental initiatives aimed at verifying the academic qualifications of public sector employees and identifying fraudulent documentation
